Read this site then. It's a dedicated site set up by APACS to counter the sort of phishing Emails you're reporting.

Better to send the mails onto there - if you're wishing to do anything other than delete. As it saves looking up the discordant reporting links the individual Banks set up.
Would be nice to say your Bank will never include a link in an Email? Unfortunately that's not the case ... as a fair few include links for customer feedback etc. But you never click on a link asking for personal data. Always type the full URL (and not from the Email !!) or pick up the one you know to be genuine from your Favourites.If you want to test the depth of the water .........don't use both feet !0 -
You can usually spot the phishing ones because they don't name you whereas the genuine ones do.
Do people not bother reporting them ? I usually try before deleting.0
